A SECOND royal seal of approval has been given to a charity that a couple started in their garden shed.
Jennyruth Workshops provides employment in craft workshops for people with learning difficulties.
The firm has now been awarded the Duke of York's top award. It recognises the not-for-profit company's quality work in the community charity field. The accolade comes after the Countess of Wessex officially opened the firm's premises on the Newby Hall Estate, near Ripon, in June last year.
